Seriously, do we need this kind of advertising on CT?

I've reported the post and asked that Nathan take a look. I'm sure its a google thing. If not, I'll blame them anyway.

It's not a post, but an ad.

Those are all contextual ads from Google. I can ban them one by one but frankly there are thousands of them. If it catches a keyword it's interested in it will show.

Not a private advertiser though... first time I've heard of them.

I remember when I was a kid working at the hardware store I made some up to play around with, learning the skill was a good time killer!

But your post was a post. I reported your post so Nathan could see what was going on. Simplest way to bring it to his attention.

Oh, and ... We're watching you.

Just a tool we use. No reflection on you.

Is any one using bump keys to gain access? I have been thinking about trying them.

ARealplumber

I have when I had permission to enter the building. I made a few and they do work on most locks. All your doing is "bumping" the pins in the lock into a certain order so the cylinder turns. I use to pick locks for fun when i was a kid but then I discovered girls to pickI'm damn good at picking them too

It is always reassuring being a lock owner when you see an ad like this...

Ryguy

sometimes i could use one, the damn contractors switch construction locks and i'm locked out of the job until they roll in around 830

If a sub or anyone else picked one of my locks, they would not ever work for me again, and the police would be called.

For once I agree with you.



They can use a ladder to get into an upstairs window like everyone else.

if you don't give access to your job during normal (in my area) work hours,unless you schedule more days per trade I would not want to work for you. I"m not talking about doing damage or stealing, but PRODUCTION.
If you want the job done...open the f@&!ing door.
If a contractor is such a control freak that they have to have all the keys, make sure the place is open in the morning. I don't think that's asking too much.

I've known about this for quite a few years now.The sad part about it is when used the insurance refuses to pay out.
I think there are enough lunatics in this world with out us pointing them in a direction.It's one thing talking to some one personally about this but on the net? This is JMHO but i think this whole thread should be wiped out.

The problem lies in the fact many use Kwikset and 5-pin Schlage C locks.

A Kwikset key can be read by eyes, then later made by code using files. These blanks are something like nickel a piece.

There are plenty of bump resistant technology like Assa-Abloy Protec, Schlage Primus, Kaba Peaks etc.

These keys offer quite certain protection against subs making duplicates during lunch.

"do not duplicate" is a concise way of saying "I would prefer if you didn't make copies" as it has no legal bearing in most places.
